The preferred way to install this extension is through [composer](http://getcomposer.org/download/).

Either run

```
composer require bigdropinc/laravel-simple-search "1.0.0"

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Once the extension is installed, simply use it in your code by:

```

```

Filters
=======

[](#filters)

All attributes that should be used described in property `fillable`

```
protected $fillable = [
   'id',
   'first_name',
   'last_name',
];
```

By default for each attribute applied condition `=`

Example:

```
protected $fillable = [
   'id',
   'name' => 'first_name', //alias:  name - search attr, first_name - db attr
   'last_name',
];
```

   ->where('last_name', $lastNameValue)

```
pulic function id($value) {
   $this->query->where('id', '>', $value);

Default sort

```
protected $defaultSort = 'first_name';
```
